Good evening,..

Im working on a smser package (http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/smser/) and i cann't understand how to add a manual file :

when i work on package that does not compile code (as klthemes http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/k/klthemes/) i just edited the debian/manfile.1 and debuild -rfakeroot

but when i compile a a source code (Makefile) and run debuild -rfakeroot i got the next error :
W: smser: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/smser

but it does have a manfile.1 what am i doing wrong ?

Thank you in advance.

I can use xawtv in etch to watch TV, but am not happy with it, so I try mplayer. So far it does
not work. Below is output:

I've built three Etch systems this year. The most recent (last weekend)
seems fine, but its installation proceeded differently than in the past, and
so I'm confused.

I installed from the latest netinst CD. During "Select and install
software", the following came up:

"The swap partition that was found in uswsusp's configuration file is
not active. In most cases this means userspace software suspend will
not work for you and you will need to choose (or let uswsusp choose)
another partition. In some corner cases, however, this can be what you
want.

"Continue without a valid swap partition?"

One would think that answering "No" (continue without a valid swap partition)
would be a bad idea. In fact, it was the only way to get the installation to
complete.

I have installed Etch using a recent netinstall on a Dell Precision 410,
and had a lot of trouble initially with mysterious frequent
'segmentation fault' errors and total system freezes which required a
reset.

After some trial and error and some advice from the net I discovered that
if I installed the 2.6.18-5-486 kernel and booted that instead of the
2.6.18-5-686 kernel from the installer then all the instability went away.

However this leaves me without use of my second CPU and without access to
a 'bigmem' kernel to access all of my ram :(

I am hoping that there might be some kernel experts out there that can
offer some suggestions as to what might be going wrong with the 686
kernel, and which I might be able to try in order to resolve (or at least

I had long given up hope on open platform for mobile phones until Trolltech's Greenphone. It offered a glimmer of hope that hacker friendly devices powered by GNU/Linux would be a reality in otherwise closed source mobile platforms.

However the party didn't last long, within one year of hitting the retail market Trolltech announced its decision to the end of Greenphone productions and but keep supporting the now popular Qtopia Greenphone community with yet another another device from OpenMoko project.

Hi all, 

My LAN has 192.168.0.0/24 behind the shorewall.

I have forwarded the ports in my modem by portforwarding.
i.e i have forwarded the port 3389.

and I DNAT this to  one of my particular machine in my LAN.
But I am facing following problem, 
i.e. I use the RemoteDesktop through SONICWALL which has given to work.

(I think the sonicwall is run the RDP @ random port numbers)

The sonic wall is allowing the RDP through https & some activeX controls.

can any one suggest how to solve this?

Internet SCSI (iSCSI) is a network protocol that allows you to use of the SCSI protocol over TCP/IP networks. It is good alternative to Fibre Channel-based SANs. You can easily manage, mount and format iSCSI Volume under Linux. It allows access to SAN storage over Ethernet. Open-iSCSI project is a high-performance, transport independent, multi-platform implementation of iSCSI. Open-iSCSI is partitioned into user and kernel parts.

The iscsi package provides the server daemon for the iSCSI protocol, as well as the utility programs used to manage it. iSCSI is a protocol for distributed disk access using SCSI commands sent over Internet Protocol networks. This package is available under Redhat Enterprise Linux / CentOS / Fedora Linux and can be installed using yum / apt-get command.

vcdcutter is a software which i earlier used for extracting portions of mpeg video files. Which software in debian distribution can be used for the same job?

This guide describes how to set up a full email solution in Debian Linux (all code is from Debian Etch). I was asked to design a secure, scalable, portable solution for a small company. While the guide references many servers, the company only had 4 physical machines, Xen was used to virtualize the entire solution. That particular aspect of the system is not discussed in this guide, although I will try to get it into the next revision.

I'm having bit of a nightmare trying to get quota to work with directadmin and debian sarge....
 
Server is VPS
 
/etc/fstab shows

/dev/xvda1 / ext3 rw,noatime 0 1
/dev/xvdb1 none swap defaults 0 0

I tried adding usrquota,grpquota but it didn't work. Is it meant to go after noatime? ie rw,noatime,usrquota,grpquota

I've installed quota via apt-get.
 
dmesg shows VFS: Disk quotas dquot_6.5.1
 
Any help ie a quick idiots guide would be appriciated.

How can I recreate all devices in /dev ?

I have copyed /dev from one disk to one another with rsync.
I boot from Debian rescue and run:
shell> lilo
part_nowrite check:: No such file or directory

I think that it was happend because partitions from /dev of first disk
don't equal /dev of second disk.

Hi,

I have a caching server on the edge of our corporate network.
System is Debian etch, with bind version 1:9.3.4-2e.

Sometimes (totally random by timespan, not sure about connection
problems), bind becomes stops responding to queries. When I googled I
saw this was a matter of allocation of memory (using pools) and the
problem was triggered by connection problems.

Is there a fix or workaround for this?

Just for the time, I've set up an hourly cron job to restart the service.

Have a nice day

Hello list,

it happened again (in Germany, anyway). As of Sunday, we're back on winter time (CET). Except my computer ain't. And every half-year I forget just what I did to set the clock right. I've got the timezone set right (Europe/Berlin CET) but the clock lags. Is there some accepted standard and automatic way of honoring DST? Even Windows gets this right. I'm using ntpd to sync my clock. Ntp itself works right -- every now and then I have to erase my buggy BIOS settings, which resets the hardware clock to the Nineties, but when Linux comes up the clock is always correct (except that little DST issue of course).

Thanks,
--D.
